Time Travel: 2014

In both cases, it is more or less related to the review/approval system.

In this case, if Lin Hui’s main means of revenue will still be through various software.

So these two seemingly harmless possibilities can be said to be very injurious to Lin Hui but extremely insulting.

In this way, an application distribution method that can bypass Apple's review/censorship mechanism is particularly important.

For example, even if Apple turns its back on corporate signatures, the corporate signature qualifications that have been issued are still valid for one year.

Although this cannot be solved once and for all, it is enough to leave a certain buffer space for Lin Hui to deal with risks.

However, this kind of distribution using the privileges of enterprise-level accounts with equal treatment is only a temporary measure.

In the future, we still need to develop an effective software distribution method ourselves.

Lin Hui had already thought about this before.

It is completely possible to develop a distribution method like TestFlight just like in the previous life.

In its previous life, TestFlight was a very powerful testing software distribution tool.

Software developers can use the TestFlight application to distribute applications for testing to up to 10,000 testers.

Developers only need to upload beta software and use iTunes to add testers' names and email addresses to complete the distribution task with little effort.

If such a powerful distribution mechanism is developed, not only Lin Hui will have room for application.

It also has great commercial value.

After all, many times the distribution qualifications in a personal developer account are not enough at all.

It is actually very difficult for some people who want to distribute applications on a large scale but do not have advanced signatures like enterprise development accounts.

In short, Lin Hui believes that if a distribution tool like TestFlight is developed, it will have great application prospects.

You must know that TestFlight was even called the second app store in its previous life.

Even if TestFlight is not recognized by Apple, it cannot completely replicate the success of its previous life, but it still has a chance to become its own system.

Of course, whether it is higher-level signatures for application distribution, we still rely on distribution tools like TestFlight.

In the final analysis, these still depend on Apple's operating system.

It is precisely because of this compromise that these two methods can only deal with small conflicts with Pingchun.

If a major conflict really breaks out, neither of these two methods full of compromise will be a long-term solution.

The only long-term solution is to start from scratch.

——Looking at the longer term, the safest way is to build an operating system with domestic independent intellectual property rights.

Only those with completely independent intellectual property rights are safe.

Although this kind of thinking will appear very old-fashioned under the wave of globalization.

But judging from past life experiences, sometimes rigid thinking is not a bad thing.

Having a gun/not using it and not grabbing it are two different things.

In short, Lin Hui must develop an operating system with independent property rights.

People who know Lin Hui’s innermost thoughts may question why Lin Hui didn’t just take one step and create the operating system directly?

Of course Lin Hui wanted to get there in one step, but conditions didn't allow it.

The resources that Lin Hui can allocate, whether it is material conditions or resource conditions (including but not limited to human resources, social resources, etc.), are not enough to support the establishment of an operating system.

Lin Hui still has a long way to go.

Objectively speaking, the future is bright but the road is tortuous.

…

Lin Hui only thought about it for a short while and did not ignore Elizabeth Nish for too long.

The conversation with Elizabeth Nice during the day was quite good today, and the two of them could talk fairly well.

Still, it was night.

Lin Hui had no intention of chatting too much with Elizabeth Nice in private time.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Hui ended the call at the right time.

In the developer account, Lin Hui received an official message from Pingchun:

"Dear developer GRAY FOREST, hello!

Because of your long-term good cooperation foundation with Pingcheng.

We are honored that you have successfully joined Apple's (system-level) software testing program...

After joining the program, your personal developer account will have higher levels of permissions.

Please log in again to check the corresponding permissions..."

"..."

After that, Lin Hui logged into his personal developer account at Pingcheng again.

Lin Hui noticed that his developer account was slightly different from before.

Some new options have been added to the interface where Lin Hui uploaded apps to the app store in the past.

Now, Lin Hui only needs to follow the steps to launch the application to the App Store and wait for Apple's review.

Lin Hui can now also perform advanced signing (enterprise signing) on ​​the software and then distribute the test software in this form.

When you have time, you can use the "Shortcut Command" software to test this function.

However, there is no need to conduct special testing at this time.

Anyway, this step will be carried out when the software adaptability is upgraded.

In this case, there is no rush at this moment.

After that, Lin Hui responded to some emails sent from various channels.

The top one is the email from Huang Jing.

Because he often contacted Huang Jing, Lin Hui simply pinned Huang Jing to the top of his mailbox.

Huang Jing expressed congratulations to Lin Hui in the email:

——Congratulations to Lin Hui for being nominated for the second prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award.

Lin Hui responded humbly.

As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

But Lin Hui felt it was just the opposite.

Whether in the past life or in this life, most of the situations Lin Hui encountered were:

When something bad happens, everyone is afraid to avoid it.

On the contrary, when something good happened, they would come forward uninvited.

In addition to Huang Jing, many people and organizations also expressed their congratulations to Lin Hui for winning the award.

I don’t know how these people obtained Lin Hui’s contact information.

It's really pervasive.

Having said that, Lin Hui also accepted all the goodwill released by these people.

Anyway, Lin Hui won't lose anything in this process.

However, this also reminds Lin Hui that it seems that it is time to find another place to live.

Can't we wait for the day when someone comes to visit us? For the sake of the security of information in previous lives, why don't we say thank you to guests?

In addition to the congratulatory email to Lin Hui.

There are also many emails regarding business cooperation.

Among the many emails for business cooperation.

An email signed "New North" particularly attracted Lin Hui's attention.

No way, it's hard not to notice.

Others seeking business cooperation with Lin Hui are basically various Internet technology companies.

Only "New North" is an education company.

Lin Hui checked the content of the email sent by the company New North.

The company New North asked Lin Hui if he was willing to cooperate with them.

Not long after his rebirth, there was actually an educational institution trying to take advantage of Lin Hui.

New North asked Lin Hui if he would be interested in teaching programming.

This institution also "kindly" said that if Lin Hui is willing to teach but does not have time to prepare lessons, the institution can prepare ready-made course content for Lin Hui.

If Lin Hui is willing to cooperate but has no time.

Then all you need to do is sign.
